hi!! in case you don't know me, i'm maxx! the op of this post I wrote about D&D campaigns having no fandoms and how much that sucks (and fan favourite Dave the Ice Elemental)

to make a long story short, the cost of living is hitting me hard and I'm opening up some writing commissions to help support myself! if you or someone you know is looking for some writing about their D&D character (or hell, any OC!), please feel free to commission me for some writing!

all prices are in AUD!

I think it would be so funny if there was a show about King Arthur and the knight of the Round Table where a different knight(s) joins the Round Table every episode and it gets to the point where the cast is like 500 people and absolutely no one is acknowledging that there are like 400 people in this court. Like a gratuitous amount of knights. The plot randomly pivots to knight or knights of the week and then back but it’s not an anthology exactly. Some of them die the same day they join, some randomly disappear from the story and others are technically there for the rest of the series but doing fuckall. Occasionally Arthur will be like “Where has Sir Whatever gone?” and everyone will shrug. Very important quest surrounding the major knights you’re expecting and a minor knight no one has seen for 5 seasons randomly joins in. You need a knightly spreadsheet to join in.

This is all handled very dryly by all the other characters, except for Arthur who occasionally breaks the 3rd wall, addresses the camera and says something like “This is all very confusing.” when the plot hits maximum ridiculousness.

[byjove]

There are several knights who do not speak Welsh and this is depicted by them speaking various dialects of old French and Gaulish and Brittonic splinter languages with a bar at the bottom that just says ‘I do not know what he is saying.’

Sometimes Arthur will be like “Where has Sir Whatever gone?” and someone is like “He has become a saint.” or “I believe he has become king of Dumnonia.” and there’s a random quick montage of this random knight getting up from the Round Table, riding out of Camelot and having religious visions or conquering an entire kingdom or drunkenly wandering all the way to Constantinople for no particular reason with the implication that this was all occurring while the other knights were debating a riddle or something asinine.

I think it would be so funny if the first shot of the series was Arthur sitting alone at a comedically large actually round table. Court utterly empty except for him and Sir Kay and like 2 guys from his father’s reign. And in the closing scene of the series he’s sitting in the same spot but there are hundreds of knights crammed into the room around him, sitting on each other’s laps, on the table, pressed flat against the walls to fit. They outgrew and surpassed this ridiculously large table several seasons ago and have been lowkey sitting on top of each other without addressing it.

[krakenartificer]

Everywhere in between the opening shot and the closing shot, the overhead shots show a normal number of people sitting at a normal sized table (say, 8 people around a round conference table), but when you pan around the table, you pan past 25 knights before you come back to Arthur.

Also, fundamental worldbuilding concepts vary from episode to episode and it's never addressed. Arthur got his sword from a rock and from the Lady of the Lake. Merlin ages both backwards and forwards. No one sees anything unusual about this.

#this is actually how arthurian lit works tho#like please someone make this it would probably be the best adaptation of we have

Right? Like I cannot emphasize enough how much you would NOT have to make anything up or change anything from "canon" to make this happen.

You just go through Arthurian legend (I'm thinking chronologically by publication date, but I'm open to arguments for other methods) and transform prose/poetry into script and film it. That's all there is to it.

Oh, and every time there's another version of a story, you just tell that story again with the slightly different details. Pellinore's gonna be discovering a dragon on his property at least twice a season. Guinivere and Lancelot start a brand new love affair every other week.

it's a shame that the trope of a character who looks 12 but is actually 300 years old is usually just used for ick fanservice because on a paper i think the psychology of a person stuck in permanent childhood has a lot of interesting story potential. unfortunately i would not trust a fandom with that character with a 100ft pole.

One of the most annoying genres of people on the internet are people who act like they believe science is one single monolithic thing. Like, you'll see an article saying something like "scientists studying the movement of tectonic plates", and then in the comments there'll be several smug people saying "smh why are scientists doing this instead of finding a cure for cancer", like. Why would a geologist be doing that.

What ever you do don't think about Dis sitting in Ered Luin waiting for a message or any kind of sign that her boys made it to Erebor

[batsandboba]

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

honestly one of the best things about twau is that telltale was brave enough to give bigby forearm and chest hair. which doesn't happen that often in games now that I think about it

"i asked ChatGPT -" well I asked the malkavian detective trapped in my head and he told me a series of clues and memories that slowly allowed me to peice together our shared history, including him setting me loose with his own blood to finally take revenge on the mind-wiping, cringefail ventrue prince who was going to murder him, even if it lead to his complete destruction as a final act of reclaiming power from those who took it from him
